This quilt is from the 2008 SAQA online auction.
" From Above - Crows" K. Velis Turan - New York 2007 12" X 12"
Cotton fabrics, cotton and rayon threads. Dyed/painted, beads, metal embellishments. Pieced border.
I especially admire the border - two similar sides and two wildly different sides. The crows are applied by machine stitches.
Very detailed embellishment with some metal rings centered with beads and others not.
The back is certainly something that has been in K.Velis' 'fabric library' for quite a few years. I'm guessing it is a print from the mid 1990s.
I'm intrigued by this quilt and enjoy trying to figure out the methods and techniques she used. There is an article about her in the Feb/Mar 2011 issue of Quilting Arts Magazine and one of her pieces is on the cover. You can also see her work on her website www.kvelisturan.com
